Sure it’s nice to chill at a hipster cafe, but let’s not forget good ol’ Starbucks. You’re not going to be getting that much coffee for the same price at those cafes, and it’s hard to compete when new concoctions keep popping up on their menu.

So the next time your caffeine craving demands attention, opt for a little cup of ice-blended heaven. Pay with your Visa payWave card or Visa on your mobile and you’ll score $2 off your coffee. Be warned: it’s only valid till the end of August, so go get bux off that caffeine fix!

These vouchers also make for great presents for your foodie friends if you’re at a loss of what to get them, and they might just call you along to share the joy too. Fastest fingers win, so get them on Fridays before they run out.
